Just watched an extraordinary drinking game in a Basel pub, one that involves knocking a nail into a block of a wood with a hammer held the long way round. It's what passes for entertainment in Switzerland
I'm actually in Switzerland at the moment and that was the headline of the front page story in the paper I read.
I've not been overly impressed with Switzerland when I've been before, but this time I'm in Basel and it's quite a cool place.
